I really am a good parent....
OK, sometimes, it's really hard to be me.....and be a good parent, at the same time.....Here's a perfect example of this:
We are at our cast party last night for this performance that our church puts on every year and we are in line to get snacks before we view the video of our performance. So, I'm at the front of the line and I see that someone has put a bowl of candy out, as well, to share with the cast and that is when I start to giggle....you see, the "snacks and candy" that are on the table make me think of a catchy song that came out a few years ago by "Marcy Playground." I don't recall the name of it but the chorus goes like this," I smell sex and..... candy......here. Who's that loungin' on my....chair??? Who's that castin' deep (somethin') stares....in my direction??? Oh, mamma, this surely is a....dream." Catchy, right?? I think so...but I can't say the S word in front of my kids so I, instead, substitute the word "snacks" for sex. I am brilliant!! They are none the wiser, I can still enjoy the little tune and I'm still a good parent. "I smell snacks and....candy...here...." I love it!!!
So, this morning, the dumb little tune won't leave my head, I'm humming it at breakfast and singin' it under my breath and finally, by lunchtime I'm singin' it out loud...and I start to laugh because I realize that both my girls are singin' it, too!!!! It's a trio!!!! So, I start to giggle some more at the irony of it all and they want to know what's so funny????? So, I tell them. They stop laughing, they stop smiling altogether....there's a collective, "GROSS!!!" heard, and then my youngest daughter looks at me and asks,"What does sex smell like?"
I'm still laughing.......I can't help it.....
